According to Raila, the time for campaigns will come later and those interested in running for electoral seats should be patient.

He reiterated that leaders must now focus on projects that will build the economy.

President Uhuru Kenyatta recently echoed similar sentiments saying politicians should stop 2022 campaigns.

And in a turn of events, Raila on Saturday rubbished calls for a referendum saying proposed changes in the Constitution are premature.
